If they feel another series is offering them a chance to use their R18 or their current LMP1, what's to stop them?

Budgets for one. Audi Sport NA has been more than stingy as of late, preferring Superbowl commericals and PGA golf tournaments over racing programs. Them green lighting even ONE racing project would be a pleasant surprise.

DTM isn't endurance racing. There's no agreement that we know of with Audi that they restrict their participation in competing series to USCR.

While there is probably no
formal agreement, it'd still not be very smart of them to P.O. someone they are at the same time trying to do business with.
Also, I don't think it makes much of a difference for most of the casual fans if it is endurance racing or (long-ish) sprints. Also, endurance racing is nothing without the big classic tracks, and NASCAR controls all of these to some degree or another.
